North Carolina Giving:
Philanthropy Across Cultures and Communities

This hour-long documentary, commissioned by NCGives, explores a diverse range of organizations, cultural groups, and individuals across North Carolina who volunteer their time, talents, and treasure to meet community needs. These stories offer glimpses into the cultural, historical, social, and religious influences that inform giving among the many peoples and traditions that are represented in North Carolina

The DVD also features a fifteen-minute preview piece and six, shorter pieces that focus on giving practices in each of these affinity groups:

•  Latino/Hispanic Giving
•  African American Giving
•  Young People and Giving
•  Women and Giving
•  Asian/Pacific Islanders and Giving
•  American Indian Giving

Both the long and short features have been designed to stimulate discussion and reflection about the common threads that run through these stories. The givers interviewed talk about how giving and sharing can be a means of celebrating and preserving community and cultural history. In other stories, giving is a way to build new communities and bridge cultural differences.
